Good cards for flashing from PC to Mac

I know that Radeon 9800 PRO has relatively good success rate but are there any other models which usually work? What models have you flashed successfully (manufacturer etc.)?

Hi-
Flash on a Mac?
Only Radeon cards.
Flash on a PC, any Radeon or Geforce card that has a ROM available or similar enough to be modded.
Radeon 9800 XT cards flash pretty well, but only give analog with the XT ROM.
Use a Pro ROM, reclock, and you have full functionality.
Radeon X800 cards, with the exception of the FireGL all only allow analog out when flashed.
The FireGL give digital through both DVI ports.
Geforce 6800 GT and Ultra cards are excellent cards, and are successfully flashed.
I have a POV and an Inno3D that work great.
Geforce 7800 GS cards all work if they have a 5.70xxx BIOS. 5.71xxx don't work.

    Hi
    There is a small discussion that iTunes takes debit card with a Visa/Mastercard logo.  I have no idea what the banking rules are in India.  But this may another option to try.

  • Better video cards for the new 8-core Mac Pro...?

    I don't know a ton about video cards. I did some research and the internet says that the Nvidia GeForce GTX 295 video card is the best card out right now. Will it work in the 8-core macpro? If not, or if it's not the best, what is the best video card that will work in the 8-core macpro?
    P.S.
    Does anyone know how to tell exactly whether a video card is better from another? I mean I can guess a video card at 1792MB is going to be better then one at 512MB, but I've also heard that, for example, the ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB is better then the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512MB, and apple charges more for it so it probably is better, but all that tells me is the name of the cards, and that they are both at 512MB, so from that without any other information I would assume they're exactly the same just made by different companies, but there must be some other details that would explain why it's better right? Thanks in advance

    Well I found out the Quadro FX 4800 works on it, that looks pretty good.
    It's a good card, but it has a different application focus.
    What applications do you use?
    Answering that helps determine what the best card is.
    The 5800 is better though, will it work?
    Better, how?
    The spec's read better?
    How about real world performance?
    Benchmarks?
    They are very similar in shape and such.
    Shape has little to do with anything.
    The ROM is the key.
    If the card is not produced as "OS X compatible", it does not have Mac ROM and cannot be used.
    If there is a Mac edition that is similar (same GPU series, similar architecture) the ROM may be flashed to Mac ROM.
    Especially in Geforce cards, the ability to edit ROMs and even write portions of the ROM is necessary to be able to flash a card.
    Even then, no guarantees.
    Often a port on a flashed card won't work after flashing.
    Seems the 5800 has a 10 bit display port, so if the card were flashable, the display port wouldn't work.
    The ROM chip size of a card is also of concern.
    Many cards require either a new, larger ROM chip to accept the Mac ROM (soldering), or, require a hacked, "reduced" ROM to be written to allow flash.
    Invariably, there will be some feature loss with a reduced ROM, but a good hacker usually gets rid of superfluous stuff.
    Cards with more VRAM than the Mac counterpart will often times lose the extra VRAM- it won't be read by OS X.
    Then there is the EFI question, which often creates a final stumbling block for converting a card.
    There are many pioneers who flash cards.
    If a card is flashable, it has already been done.
    The Quadro 4500, 4800, and 5600 have all been worked out.
    As of yet, the 5800 hasn't been sussed out for flash (as far as I can find).
    Flashing the card is easy.
    Finding a physically compatible card and a compatible ROM are the hard parts.
    The two best retail cards for the Mac Pro are the Geforce GTX 285 and the Radeon HD 4870.

  • What's the best graphic card for FCP X and a Mac Pro (early) 2008?

    I have a Radeon HD 3870 in my Mac Pro, it seems that I cannot use this configuration with Final Cut Pro X. Then what's the best graphic card for FCP X usable in a Mac Pro (early) 2008?
    Thx,
    Phil

    You can get a 5770 radeon ATI MAC card
    Avoid the 5770 cards on ebay and Amazon - many are black market or manipulated cards. 
    Buy it from Apple online store or B&H photo or Macconection
    And in my case, I was able to sell my old 2600 XT card on ebay for $65 and put that money toward a 5770 card (Which was about $230 minus the $65)
    I installed the 5770 in my early Mac Pro 2 x 2.8 and it works great

  • Choosing a video card for 1st gen (1,1) mac pro

    Hey all,
    Buying a video card for my mac pro to upgrade from the stock 256mb nvidia, and have narrowed it to these three cards.
    ATI X1900 XT
    Nvidia 8800GT
    ATI 4870
    I know to make sure I buy the versions compatible with my generation mac pro etc, but they're all relatively close in price (within $100), so barring comparison in that area, which of these cards are the best? Or are they all pretty equal? I know very little about video cards.
    Also, as an aside, does the ATI 4890HD work with 1st gen mac pros? I've seen ebay auctions claiming they do, but I know better than to take them at face value.

    I wouldn't touch the X1900 overpriced and old.
    The 8800GT is hard to find but can be on ebay even for 1st gen
    ATI 4870 from Apple is safe bet.

  • Is $500 a good price for a 2007 15 inch Mac book pro?

    Hi guys, first post so go easy on me!
    I'm just curious if $500 is a good price for the 2007 Mac book pro. He tells me it is running Lion, it also includes a magic mouse. I just want to make sure I'm not walking into a bad deal.
    Thank you for your help!

    "I just sent a message to the guy asking for those details. When I find out, I'll post here."
    So some guy advertises a MacBook Pro 2007 with no information and you don't ask for details up front?

  • Capture Card for Flash Live Media Encoder

    Hello,
    I need help finding the best capture card for the flash live media encoder. Any suggestions?

    The problem you have is that your game and FMLE are competing for CPU time.  Running FMLE is very CPU-intensive because of the work of encoding video.  When FMLE consumes all your CPU there is nothing left to run the game.  Instead of cropping I would suggest that you change your monitor resolution to 1280x720 (this is still HD, just not 1080 "full HD").  Increasing the screen size then cropping it back down is just another task you are throwing at the CPU that it can't cope with.

  • If I use an SD card for both Windows 7 and Mac, is there any way to see the documents from the Mac sight while on the windows side?

    If I use an SD Card on both the windows 7 and Mac OS (using bootcamp), is there any way to see the data seen on the Mac OS side while using the Windows OS?

    Windows Aero style uses a different background image than Mac:
    Windows Aero:
    #nav-bar {
    background-image: linear-gradient(rgba(253,253,253,0.45), rgba(255,255,255,0));
    Mac:
    #nav-bar {
    background: url(chrome://browser/skin/Toolbar-background-noise.png),
    linear-gradient(hsl(0,0%,93%), hsl(0,0%,83%));
    I can't test hands on, but you might be able to clear that OSX "fog" using a rule such as:
    @namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
    #nav-bar, #PersonalToolbar {
    background-image: none !important;
    background-color: transparent !important;
    This could be applied using the Stylish extension or by creating/editing a userChrome.css file.

  • GeForce 7800 GTX... the best card for a PCIe G5 Power Mac?

    I have started out on the rocky road to upgrade the graphics card on my Power Mac G5 Quad 2.5GHz running Mac OS X 10.5.8. The standard card, a GeForce 6600, does not do justice to this wonderful computer, and struggles with any serious video work.
    The first step is easy – deciding on the best card. A little Googling shows that the GeForce 7800 GTX wins hands down over the competition.
    The next needs patience – these cards appear from time to time on eBay; I will need a 512 MB PCI-e version (not 256 MB) as I am running 10.5.
    I've waited a month or two, put in a winning bid and the card has arrived. Now all I need is the code to flash the ROM to make it work in myG5. Not so fast! I'll need a 128kb ROM chip! The idea of using a soldering iron terrifies me, so I'll have to find someone, who does this sort of thing for a living, to remove the 64kb ROM from my 7800 GTX and solder on a 128kb ROM.
    But what's is the right spec/manufacturer/supplier for the 128 kb ROM?
    If I am lucky my friend with the soldering iron may know. If not, I'm stuck. I've not been able to find this information anywhere on the Internet.
    Now all I need is the right code for the ROM. It seems that there are two versions that people have used: one, which seems quite common, is lightly edited Quadro FX 4500 ROM code which does not use the full power of the 7800 GTX, which after flashing reports itself as a FX 4500; the other, which seems to be as rare as gold dust, has been fine-tuned to use the 7800 GTXs full potential. Cards flashed with this version report correctly as 7800 GTX. I really want this optimised code, but neither version is available from any of the usual places.
    Can anyone please help?

    I've waited a month or two, put in a winning bid and the card has arrived. Now all I need is the code to flash the ROM to make it work in my G5. Not so fast! I'll need a 128kb ROM chip! The idea of using a soldering iron terrifies me, so I'll have to find someone, who does this sort of thing for a living, to remove the 64kb ROM from my 7800 GTX and solder on a 128kb ROM.
    Many thanks to japamac, who kindly sent me an e-mail which put me on the right track re finding the ROM code, editing it and flashing.
    I also now know that I no longer have to worry about soldering ROM chips. Yippee! The 7800 GTX code has been 'shrunk' to fit on a 64kb ROM.

  • Which Graphics card for OpenGL 3D Support? (Mac)

    I have an earlier 2008 MacPro with a Radeon HD 2600 XT Card. Adobe says it's supported but all 3D options are grayed out. The menu is grayed out and open GL is grayed.
    Do I need a new card? If so, what cards are Mac users using for good 3D?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    What version of Ps Extended do you have or wish to use? For Ps CS6 Extended the minimum GPU VRAM requirement is 512MB, which explains greyed out menu items if you're running CS6.
    Recommended Ps CS6 Extended GPU VRAM is 1GB or greater. You'll also benefit buying as much RAM as you can afford.
    Both of those cards should work with the CS6 3D features. However, you may want to look at newer cards from nVidia and ATI to see if they also work with the '08 MacPro running 10.8.2.

    Note!
    Make sure that you clear cmos after bios flash (with PSU disconnected) .
    After powering up , first to do is enter cmos and "Load Optimized Defaults" and setting date/time , then save/exit .
    Next boot to cmos you may define/change to own preferences.

    You're a legend syar2003! I thought I'd try v3.0a since v little is known about it and thanks to your efforts it's easy for me to revert back.
    Just an initial observation on the 3.0a version - I've managed to get my 3700+ SD (E6 stepping) overclocked well beyond what I mangaged with bios v1.0. I'm now running at 2.9GHZ compared to the maximum 2.7GHZ previously - and i'm running the memory at 1:1 with the timings at stock! Seems stable enough in a windows environment (been running about 4 hours). Temps are around the 38 degree mark. I will run some Prime95 and a few 3d games over the next few days.
    Thats very good , seems 3X bioses is better for overclocking afterall   
    Nice to be appreciated ,thanks for those kind words !
    I don't have the Diamond + board myself so I can't really say if this or that bios is good or not and which versions is better or worse .

  • What are good settings for a QT movie on .Mac?

    QTimers,
    I post movies edited in FCPro 3 on a .Mac web site for the in-laws. They are on a DSL line. When I export the finished video from FCP to a QT movie, I face a vast array of choices that I don't understand. I can choose from many video codecs, and I have to choose a key frame rate, and a size (I chose 320x240). The movie I did today came in at 27Mb, and it's only a minute in length!
    Can someone recommend some settings that will not create huge files?
    Thanks.

    So long as the recipients have QT7 try the H.264 codec. I have a couple of movies which I've exported at 384x288 (half size PAL) at 256kbps video data rate, 128kbps audio, full frame rate (25fps) with key frames every 50 frames and, while they're not absolutely perfect, they are very acceptible. One is 5.5 minutes and is 15Mb long, the other is 1 minute long and is 2.8Mb. They'll play over a 512kbps connection so long as the .Mac servers are behaving themselves (they're rather slow at times). H.264 /does/ take a long time to encode the video though - my five minute movie took about 35 minutes to encode on a dual 2.3GHz G5 directly from Final Cut Express.
    You could also try the MP4 and Sorenson 3 codecs but you're not going to get anything like the same quality at the same data rates (at least not with what comes as standard with QT).
    It all seems to be something of a black art doesn't it? I started doing this only a few weeks ago. At first I fiddled around more or less at random before approaching it more sensibly using short clips and changing one thing at a time. Eventually, I arrived at settings which satisfied me.
    Best of luck!

  • MM: Goods issue for scrapping from quality

    Hi Experts,
    I want to scrap a stock from Quality Inspection using transaction - MB1A and Movement type - 553. When I do the transaction it gives me following error:
    <b>Change the inspection stock of material 83565 in QM only</b>
    Message no. QA495
    Diagnosis
    You want to make a stock posting to/from the inspection stock. This is not allowed for material 83565 because the quality inspection control has been activated by QM.
    The following cases can occur:
    The inspection stock should be increased, although an inspection is not foreseen for the current goods movement
    The inspection stock should be released, although  you can only do this using the QM transactions.
    System response
    You cannot carry out the stock posting.
    Procedure
    Check both the QM inspection setup data and the movement type for material 83565 in the quality management view of the material master.
    Can anyone help me out here ?
    Thanks
    Shiv

    Hi,
    In transaction QA11, you can take the usage decision & then in inspection lot posting tab, you may post the QI stock to required option (unrestricted, blocked, scrap) as per your requirement.
    This is because, the QI stock linked to a particular QI Lot can not be posted from MB1B / MB1A transaction. This has to be done through QM only.
    If you have already taken usage decision, then you can select the stocks with usage decision & then make required stock posting.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Prashant Kolhatkar
